This one should be in the manual under debugging :) It ended up being a problem with the python egg cache. I ended up adding: if 'root' in cache: os.environ['PYTHON_EGG_CACHE']=os.path.expanduser("~nagios")+"/.python-eggs" pkg_resources.cleanup_resources() pkg_resources.set_extraction_path(os.environ['PYTHON_EGG_CACHE']) pkg_resources.cleanup_resources() This solved the problem. Thanks for helping me solve this one. I've been scratching my head for quite some time. regards, Tarjei <blockquote cite="mid:1224594623.6739.24.camel@de101315" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">to your check command. Tracebacks are printed in the UI then. However your exit code won't be appropriate. Maybe someone has a smarter solution to get stderr also printed in nagios.
